The exponential growth of mobile traffic, associated with the emergence of new services and the expected explosion of the number of connected objects will make effective monitoring, modelling, and overall control of network traffic difficult if not impossible. Hence, there is a need for powerful methods to solve the challenges faced in network design, deployment, and management.
AI4GREEN is built around the need to build comprehensive, sophisticated and energy-efficient algorithms and solutions at both radio access and core networks, but also on data centers and storage while keeping in mind the emergence of new architectures.
The main goal of this project is to achieve an improvement of about 30-40% of the end-to-end energy efficiency compared to current networks.
